Types of Chemical
Reactions
- Decomposition
- when a compound breaks down into two or more elements or compounds
- AB -> A + B
- Combination (also known as synthesis)
- when two or more elements or compounds combine to form one new compound
- A + B -> C
- Combustion
Anlagen:
- when an element or compound reacts with oxygen, often producing energy as heat and light
- Single Replacement
- when a more active element replaces a less active element in a compound
- if A is a metal:
- A + BC -> AC + B
- if A is a nonmetal:
- A + BC -> BA + C
- Double Replacement
- AB + CD -> AD + CB
- when two compounds react to form two new compounds
